Everything they do is hallucination, some of it ends up being useful and some of it not. The not useful stuff gets called confabulation or hallucination but it's no different from the useful stuff, generated the same exact way. It's all bullshit. Bullshit is actually useful though, when it's not so wrong that it steers people wrong.

If LLMs think, it's not in any way we yet understand. They're probability engines that transform data into different data using weighted probabilities." Stuff in, stuff out.
